About Samuel B.

Having grown up in a New York theatrical family, I know one very simple truth - acting is reacting. Whether your goal is to perform improv or gain confidence as a stage actor, I will provide the space for you to gain an understanding of your character's emotional life and apply that understanding to your performance.

I have a Master's degree in Educational Psychology from New Jersey City University. I focus on the psychological aspects of the craft and how best to get to know who you've signed up to become so that you'll be able to portray this person with startling emotional accuracy.

We'll begin with major scales. That way, your fingers will get to know the notes that comprise the chords you'll eventually be learning. Eventually, you'll be able to play whole songs with both major and minor chords and play solos over them (also based on the scales).

I'm a primarily self-taught musician. The bulk of my knowledge came from listening to and imitating delta blues artists such as Robert Johnson and Mississippi John Hurt. Though you will have learned to play campfire standards in fewer than eight lessons, the blues (particularly the form originating from the Mississippi Delta) is the foundation of ALL A

merican music. The better you understand and are able to play it, the more options you will have created for yourself musically. Once you've gained confidence playing the blues, I'll introduce informal jazz.
For more information about my curriculum, you may review my published articles on TakeLesson's Teacher Blog. Please note that I'm available to teach both in-person and online:

She is an incredibly kind person, and her bright and bubbly personality puts you at ease. She is a true mentor and really cares about your profess. I am looking forward to future lessons!

This is an update since my last review. Just came back from filming. I want thank Kim for her guidance, her support to make my first acting successful! She is a very knowledgeable acting coach. The important part is that she puts her heart and mind on her student. I highly recommend you take her lessons!

Jessica Zhao October 15, 2015·Film Acting·Online

I absolutely love Kim's acting coaching!

I have been in financial business for many years. Recently, I took a project and need to adapt quickly to play a role in a film within very short time period. I am very lucky to find Kim:

(1) She is well prepared for each lesson. She understood clearly about my objectives;
(2) She gives me lots of valuable tips to improve my acting skills;
(3) She is very quick to grasp the film writer and director's intention for the role;
(4) She pays great attention to every detail of the script to help me to maximize my potential in the role;
(5) She goes above and beyond: she reviews my recording and gives me great feedback after the lesson; she went through multiple scripts within very short time period on her own time;
(6) She is extremely fun to work with;

I just finished my second lesson with Kim. She is not only a great acting coach, but a great actor! She is definitely a go to person in my future film venture!!!

Linda September 9, 2016·Acting·In studio

It was my daughter's first contact with professional acting.
She has been talking about being an actress for quite a while now, so we decided to let her take a few lessons to see if she likes it.
Ollie was really comprehensive of our needs and made us see the big picture of that world... just what we needed, to start walking into that direction on the right path.
My daughter had a wonderful time with Ollie.

Kristyl N. March 3, 2016·Acting·In studio

I booked 4 acting sessions with Ms. Ollie for my daughter. Ms. Ollie did a phenomenal job starting from scratch, coaching my daughter for her up coming audition. My daughter had no acting experience, she was shy, and soft spoken but in just 4 short days, Ms. Ollie turned her into a confident, outspoken young actress. My daughter nailed her audition thanks to Ollie!! I will highly recommend her as your acting coach.

About Elyse K.

Since high school, I have been involved with the theatre. This year, I also taught a theatre class. I am very good at teaching improvisation techniques. Some productions I have been in include "Macbeth," "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "The Wizard of Oz," "The Sound of Music," and "South Pacific." I am also equipped to teach Musical Theatre.

About Elyse

Who has music and teaching as their biggest passion?

See below... :)

Hello, Parents & Students!My name is Elyse (the answer is me!), and I teach a wide array of great (mainly musical) things! Thank you for checking out my page!A few key points to know about me:*I graduated from Kent State University (Kent, OH) in December, 2009, with my Bachelor of Music in Music Education degree (Magna cum Laude).*I’ve taught music in small ensembles and marching band camps since July, 2007.*I taught from 2010-2016 in the Texas Public Schools as a General Music teacher/Choir Director.*I taught theatre for one year.*I am a VERY enthusiastic, fun-loving teacher who enjoys laughter and bringing smiles to my students. *I do, however, structure our lessons in such a way that we have that fun while remaining on track.*The Clarinet was m

y instrument of study in college.*RANDOM: I love to read, sing, and listen to music, I love cats, chocolate, and my family/friends. Pink is my favorite color, and Hanson is my favorite band!*My most recent new student, after his second lesson, asked if he could take piano more than once a week because “it’s so fun!” 😊

***Philosophy***—If you're going to make a mistake, make a loud one!—

-My students know (I make sure of this) right off the bat that it's okay to make mistakes! My philosophy is: YOU make mistakes. Mistakes don't make YOU. We fix them together, and we learn together. Also: never apologize for making a mistake; that is why we’re working together and you’re practicing at home!

***Teaching Style***-I'm definitely a fun-loving, outgoing person.-My teaching style is tailored to each of my students; - I try to think-outside-the-box as much as possible and utilize creativity. -I talk as little as possible in lessons; my goal is for the student to play as much as possible. With beginners, I may have to talk a bit more.-I often model for the student what they should do: example: middle c position on the piano.-If seeing ME isn’t enough for my visual learners, I will utilize a video clip. -For my tactile learners, sometimes I have to move their fingers into position myself.-For my sound learners, I will play or sing a pitch, show them the slide position or fingering to that note, and have them try to match it by ear.-I also question my students.-I have many other techniques as well.-I am VERY much pro Positive Reinforcement!

*** Lesson details ***-I am NOT a rigid teacher; I am pretty relaxed.-However, I am VERY adamant about practicing between lessons - no matter what type of instrument you may be learning. It is the only way to improve. :) -We will ALWAYS begin with a warm-up, we may/may not move into rhythm exercises, possible ear training, music theory, and your music. -The list of all that I teach is on my page, but I teach all wind instruments (woodwind/brass), piano, and voice. I also teach acting techniques and improvisation skills.

***Students’ responsibility:***-Daily practice is strongly recommended. It is important and necessary for steady progress. -For piano lessons, students should have neat, clean, trimmed nails at every lesson. -Students should bring water to voice lessons.-Reed players should ensure they have working/non-cracked reeds.-Brass players should ensure all valves/slides are oiled/greased.-Students must be prepared for each lesson.

***Parents’ responsibility:***-Parents should remain until their child’s lesson is complete. -Parents should regularly check and support the students practice routine.

IMPORTANT NOTE: My home, where my studio is located, is inhabited by four very sweet cats. Keep this in mind when you plan to sign up for lessons. :)

About Monica A.

We will find repertoire and work on diving into material, making it personal so the words flow naturally, and really breaking it down and finding the reason the author chose each word. Can also work on audition material.

About Monica

If you want to learn to LOVE performing, get in touch with me! I grew up doing youth theatre in the South Bay, I'm a graduate of the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts (Vocal Major), as well as the Hartt School of Music, Theatre, and Dance, where I got my BFA in Musical Theatre, and performing is truly in my blood!I believe that more than anything, music should be about having fun and making your soul happy. And I believe lessons should be fun as well! Of course we'll get into theory, healthy & sustainable singing technique, and performance & audition prep, but it's more about throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what your particular style is. The same goes for my acting lessons, of course. I will work diligently to find material that fits you personally, and then we will work it until it becomes as natural as your own t

houghts. I can also help with college auditions for musical theatre programs, seeing as I auditioned for 25 college myself before settling on Hartt.If any of the above interests you, send me a quick question and we'll work out a time that works for both of us! Have a great day!!

Monica offers very insightful coaching for both acting and singing. She gets to the heart of the story and helps me find ways to bring that to life. She is very kind in her coaching and I leave her lesson with more confidence in my ability to portray that character. Great for getting ready for an audition.

My goal is to give you the freedom and confidence to feel comfortable with taking risks and letting yourself explore. I want to help you find the truth behind each emotion that your character is experincing and allow the story to be told in the most real and authentic way.

About Adam

My name is Adam. I was born in Oklahoma and moved to Sweden at age of 5. It was around that time I started showing an interest in acting. As a teenager I went to an art and performance high school. As soon as I was done with my classes I would head over to an english speaking theatre at nights. At age 19 l moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in acting. I studied two years at The American Academy of Dramatic Arts and since graduation I've been working on everything from film, tv, commercials and plays.

I started coaching people two years ago. I love seeing the actor become the character. I want to help you be the best you can be by sharing my knowledge as well as my passion for acting.

Are you struggling to break through? Are you missing the passion and flow of your artistry? Do you want to gain the confidence and "it" factor that'll blow audiences away? My coaching may be your key.As an working actress in the TV and film industry for over ten years, one thing is clear to me: our talent and work can only go as far as our we are willing to go within ourselves. I have learned how consciously approaching each and every role can further our growth as humans, collaborators, and artists! I will use by ability to see your subconscious blocks and unique gifts to create magic in your acting. Whether you need help breaking down an audition, creating the character, or feeling good in your skin... I WANT TO HELP! My goal is to get you working in a happy and healthy way and inspire you to explore the depths of yourself and the world around you.

About Camila

My name is Camila, and I am an actor. Some may think I am nuts for choosing the arts but really... I'd be nuts if I didn't. I knew I would be an actress when I was 5 years old and I have never looked back.

I grew up in Arizona, performing in every theater production I could find. In my teen years, modeling with Ford Agency connected me to my first TV gig. That little production got me connected with my first acting agent in Los Angeles and I moved out to pursue my dreams at age 17.

As soon as I turned 18, I booked the LEAD in a Nickelodeon pilot. The show was not picked up, and thank goodness, because I was not ready for stardom! Through the years, I have worked on single and multi cam comedy, drama, procedurals, indie film, and many more. Now if that sentence means nothing to you... don't worry! I can teach you all about it in

our first session together ;)

I have trained in Meisner Technique, Method acting, Cold Reading, Scene Study, Audition Technique, Improv, Sitcom technique, Sense memory, and the list goes on. I have had television roles on the CW, CBS, ABC, Freeform, TNT, HBO, and FOX! And with all of that said, the most valuable work I have ever done, is the work I did on myself.

The industry in Los Angeles has tested every one of my insecurities, abilities, and beliefs. And with every test, I have come out the other side with newfound strength, determination, and inspiration! Coaching actors is a skill I enjoy, and seeing my students succeed with JOY, CONFIDENCE, and PASSION brings immeasurable value to my own career. I believe in creating in community and have hosted an acting group for years now. One of which is filled with actors you can see on your TV and movie screens today! Teamwork makes the dream work and I am on your team, from the very moment we meet.

At the end of the day, humans just want to create beautiful art that impacts the world and I want to help you do just that. I want to guide you into living an even more abundant life, full of purpose and joy.

Every time I bring in a scene whether its a 'cold' reading or something I've been working on for a while - Camila gives great advice and helps me really shine!!

Contemporary dance is the most expressive and subjective dance form, making it more accessible to outsiders and helpful as a supplement to other dance training.
